'''''Pereyaslav''''' is a small [[Spy ship|reconnaissance ship]] of the project 1824B (type "Uhlomyer", Muna class by [[NATO]] classification), a special purpose ship of the [[29th Naval Surface Ships Division (Ukraine)|29th Division]] of the [[Ukrainian Navy|Naval Forces of Ukraine]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ukraineinvestigation.com/russians-captured-51-ukrainian-ship/|title=Russians Captured 51 Ukrainian Ships - Ukraine Investigation|date=26 March 2014|website=Ukraine Investigation|language=en-US|access-date=4 August 2016}}</ref> It was originally named ''GS-13'' under the [[Russian Hydrographic Service|Hydrographic Service]] of the [[Soviet Navy|Soviet Union Navy]], but after the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]] this vessel was released from the Russian military.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.matthewaid.com/post/81289403296/what-is-left-of-the-ukrainian-navy|title=What Is Left of the Ukrainian Navy?|website=Matthew Aid|access-date=4 August 2016}}</ref>

==Project features==
''Pereyaslav'' is a type of single-deck self-propelled marine vessel. 1824B Project - special purpose ships - the carriers of underwater vehicles designed on the base of the project of small marine transport of armaments. By 1977, in order to hide the true purpose of these ships, the project was classified as small hydrographic vessels. The ships of this range were built at shipyards factories "Vympel" ([[Rybinsk]], [[Yaroslavl Oblast]], [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|RSFSR]]) and "Baltics" ([[Klaipėda]], [[Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic|Lithuanian SSR]]). Between 1976-1989 four ships were built for this project, ''Anemometer'' (1976), ''Gyro'' (1978), GS-13 (1986), ''Uhlomyer'' (1989).

Although the ships of the project 1824B are classified as small reconnaissance ships, they do not have on board a means of radio and electronic intelligence. Special weapons on them include means of hidden release and receive of intelligence divers and delivery of underwater vehicles.

==History of the ship==
A small [[Russian Hydrographic Service|hydrographic]] vessel with a serial number 701 was built in the dock of the shipyard factory "Baltic" in Klaipeda city of Lithuanian SSR on 5 November 1985. The vessel, known by the USSR Navy as ''GS-13'', was [[Ceremonial ship launching|launched]] on 30 November 1986. On 24 December 1986 the crew began living on the ship. The first team was formed from the personnel of the special purpose units - 15 soldiers. The command structure was formed from officers of reconnaissance ships with marine specialties. The first commander of the ship was the captain of the 3rd rank Oboloshev.

The first course task the crew passed with a mark "good" directly on the plant to the command of battalion of reconnaissance ships which were stationed in [[Baltiysk]] city. On 30 May 1987 the ship headed for [[Leningrad]], where it was moored near the bridge of [[Blagoveshchensky Bridge|Lieutenant Schmidt]]. On 1 June, the ship began the transition by inland waterways to the [[Black Sea]], escorted by [[tug]].

The transition was made by the [[Neva River]] - [[Lake Ladoga]] - the [[Svir River]] - [[Lake Onega]] - [[Volga–Baltic Waterway|Volga-Baltic channel]] - channel [[Beloozersk]] - [[Rybinsk Reservoir]] - [[River Volga]] - [[Don River (Russia)|Don River]] - [[Sea of Azov]] - [[Kerch strait]] - [[Black Sea]] - [[Sevastopol]]. In October, the ship moved to the military port of [[Ochakiv]] city, where it was subordinated to the 17th separate crew of special purpose of the [[Black Sea Fleet]] (today [[73rd Naval Special Operations Center (Ukraine)]]).

On 28 November 1995, the ship was transferred to the complement of Naval Forces of [[Ukraine]] and returned to the place of its preliminary deployment in the military port of [[Ochakiv]]. On 1 December the Ukrainian naval flag was raised. In 1997, the ship was named ''Pereyaslav'' and assigned hull number U512. For the past 15 years (as of 2011), the ship has been owned by [[Pereiaslav|Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky]] city.

On 19 June 2012, BSS took the ship to repair mechanical parts, special equipment and devices. The control of the repair work was monitored by the representatives of the Naval Forces of Ukraine.

In August 2019, ''Pereyaslav'' was sailing to [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] to participate in exercise Agile Spirit 2019 and while in neutral waters, the crew received a warning over the radio from a [[Russian Navy]] ship. The Russians warned that the Ukrainians needed to turn away because the area was allegedly blocked. International coordinators did not confirm that fact, so the captain of ''Pereyaslav'' decided to maintain the vessel along its original course. Soon thereafter, {{ship|Russian corvette|Kasimov||2}}, a large Russian [[Grisha-class corvette|Project 1124M/Grisha V-class anti-submarine]] [[corvette]], was spotted near the Ukrainian ship. The Russian corvette's aggressive behavior only ceased when a Turkish reconnaissance plane arrived close to ''Pereyaslav''.{{citation needed|date=July 2021}}

On 20 November 2019, the ship towed the vessel ''Nikopol'' to the port of Ochakiv, after ''Nikopol'' was damaged and seized by the Russian Federation near the [[Kerch Strait]] in November 2018.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.unian.info/politics/10762406-ukrainian-navy-boats-returned-by-russia-entering-ukraine-s-ochakiv-port-video.html |title=Ukrainian Navy boats returned by Russia entering Ukraine's Ochakiv port (Video) |work=Unian |date=20 November 2019 |access-date=9 July 2021 }}</ref>

According to Russian military sources, ''Pereyaslav'' was hit by gunfire as a result of a Russian special forces operation in the mouth of the [[Dnieper]] on 30 March 2022, during the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russian invasion of Ukraine]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ukrainian Project 1824B ship Pereyaslav reportedly hit by gunfire |url=https://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php/naval-news/naval-news-archive/2022/march/11566-ukrainian-project-1824b-ship-pereyaslav-reportedly-hit-by-gunfire.html |access-date=2022-04-16 |website=Navy Recognition |language=en-gb}}</ref>
